[edit] History
Ruth was a social worker, who first appeared in December 1985. Ruth offered Pauline Fowler advice on caring for her ailing mother, Lou Beale. She did so at the request of her good friend, Dr. Harold Legg. Upon seeing Ruth and Dr. Legg drinking together or playing darts in the Queen Vic a few times, some were led to imagine that a romantic link existed between them.
When Pauline mentioned this to Dr. Legg, he found the idea amusing and explained that Ruth was already 'married' — to the woman she lived with!
Her last appearance was in March 1986.
